Another week, another shitposting trend. Everyone's favorite Christmas tradition is now part of the latest fad. Starting last week, people on Twitter and Reddit have been creating memes with the text "You've heard of elf on the shelf, now get ready for" accompanied by an image of another rhyming situation. Nintendo characters have been especially popular: think photos like Link in a sink, Waluigi on a squeegee, Princess Peach on a beach.

Because the format is so simple (and many would argue, stupid) these rhyming memes have spread like wildfire. Here are some of our favorites.

The "shocking" news of Mario's nips naturally garnered attention on Twitter, resulting in multiple memes and Photoshop jobs, most notably an image riffing on Ted Cruz's recent Twitter porn controversy. Here's a selection of our top responses.
